Abstract:
In an embodiment, an apparatus that estimates cardiorespiratory fitness of a subject using data provided by wearable sensors in a free-living environment based on a physical performance measure indicated by a ratio between a measure of mechanical work and a measure of a physiological response associated with the mechanical work.
Abstract:
A monitoring device configured to be attached to the ear of a person includes a base, an earbud housing extending outwardly from the base that is configured to be positioned within an ear of a subject, and a cover surrounding the earbud housing. The base includes a speaker, an optical emitter, and an optical detector. The cover includes light transmissive material that is in optical communication with the optical emitter and the optical detector and serves as a light guide to deliver light from the optical emitter into the ear canal of the subject wearing the device at one or more predetermined locations and to collect light external to the earbud housing and deliver the collected light to the optical detector.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention comprises: a detection unit for monitoring a stress index on the basis of a user's biometric information and detecting a first interval where the rate of change at which an increased stress index decreases exceeds a reference range; a storage unit for storing context information corresponding to the detected first interval; and a control unit for, when a second interval where the rate of change at which the increased stress index decreases is less than the reference range occurs, generating stress relief information using the stored context information and outputting the generated stress relief information.
Abstract:
A biological information processing device obtains biological information indicating a body condition (S91), and associates different kinds of the biological information with respective specific graphical elements (S92). Each of specific graphical elements is same kind of element that constitutes an appearance of a graphical figure. The biological information processing device sets value to the specific graphical element depending on degree of the biological information for the at least one specific graphical element associated with the obtained biological information (S93), and generates indicating data of a biological figure that is an aggregate of the specific graphical elements on the basis of the set value (S94).
Abstract:
A wearable diet and exercise tracking device that provides one-submission input of foods eaten, quantities consumed, exercises performed and exercise quantities, the reporting of tracked information and comprehensive diet and exercise tracking directly via the device. Embodiment of the invention may be in the form of, or integrated with, wrist-secured bands, smartwatches, clothes and fitness gear attachable/embedded devices and other portable and/or wearable enclosures.
Abstract:
The invention provides systems for characterizing a biological sample (101) by analyzing emission of fluorescent light from the biological sample (101) upon excitation and methods for using the same. The system includes a laser source (100), collection fibers (CF), a demultiplexer (104) and an optical delay device (105).
Abstract:
The activity monitor (100) includes a basic information acquisition unit (20) that accepts input of basic physical information (BA) of the user's body, a target information acquisition unit (30) that accepts input of the user's target physical expenditure (CS), an activity pattern acquisition unit (40) that acquires pattern information indicating the user's intent on the activity amount (AM), and a target activity calculation unit (50) that determines a target activity amount (TA) on the basis of the basic physical information (BA), the target physical expenditure (CS), and the pattern information acquired by the activity pattern acquisition unit (40).
